Some do, but its much more expensive for game companies and adds latency to some elements. Its generally a much harder problem for first-person shooter games - an enemy might be hiding behind a wall but the game needs to know the position of that enemy anyway because the player might move around the corner and see that enemy before the server updates or their game client might need to play noise that enemy is making faintly even if they are far away.

Players of these games are sometimes running their games at high framerates like 240fps which is much higher than the tick rates of these games too.

Plus it doesn't solve all the possible cheats that are out there, as there are some like aim-hacks that don't need any server information to work.

The documentation seems very broken at the moment. Lots of typos all around, some of the migration steps from v6 are just incorrect. Some of the styling disappears if you click a hash link.

The docs are also missing all the pages for individual components and hooks. I hope they bring this back, because right now I have to keep looking at the v6 docs to read up on what things do.

I don't really follow Bitcoin at all, but its inherently a deflating currency is it not? There will never be more of it, so its value should tend to go up over time as it becomes more scarce (as people lose them). Of course I'm ignoring all the other market factors here.

I don't really know who to follow on Mastodon. Many of the people that led me to use Twitter have not moved, and are still tweeting away. A couple have moved, but its really not a good experience searching for someone on Mastodon and coming up with nothing.

Lemmy on the other hand I'm finding to be great, because it already has small communities I can join and participate in.

Seems like we're arguing semantics. I think its good for the public for dozens of reasons, regardless of whether its a 'public good'.

When going to school I would work retail in the summers and would usually walk 2 hours per day to get to work and back because I couldn't bare to spend $100 (7% of my paycheck) a month on transit.

During those months, when I did need to take the bus across town I'd often be digging around for change or asking stores to split bills for me.

The annoying thing is that I'd see bus drivers let people on free all the time anyway - one basically just needs to give any excuse for why they can't pay the fare and the drivers let them on. And I don't blame drivers! It shouldn't really be their job to shake down people.

I see people mentioning whenever the answer is right or not, but that's actually irrelevant. The heuristic only measures how surprising the popular answer is to the population.
